Introduction

Your new iHome Bluetooth stereo ear buds are designed to link with your Bluetooth enabled 
smartphone or music player to allow you to wirelessly listen to music and answer phone 
calls within the normal 10 meter (33 feet) Bluetooth operating range. In addition your iHome 
Bluetooth ear buds are classified as IPX5 meaning that they are protected against “low 
pressure jets of water from all directions”, so you can safely use your ear buds in all kinds of 
weather conditions without fear of water damage. 

Note:

 Do not use these ear buds while swimming. They are not designed to be submerged in 

water or any other liquids.

Your ear buds are supplied with 3 sizes of ear cushions, 3 sets of ‘fin’ type stabilizers, a set of 
over-ear hooks, and a cord management ‘clip’ to allow you to customize your ear buds for 
maximum wearing comfort and stability during all kinds of exercise and physical activities.

Please review this manual carefully to make sure you are getting the maximum benefit from 
all of the features of your new ear buds, and keep this manual for future reference.

 PREPARATION FOR USE

1. Controls and Indicators

 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Switching Your Ear Buds On and Off

2. Power On

PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB) on the control dongle for 3 seconds 
until you hear the voice say “Power ON”. The red LED flashes once and then the blue LED 
begins flashing two times per second indicating that your ear buds are in the
Auto-Linking Mode and trying to re-link to a previously paired device as long as that 
device is within the normal pairing range of approximately 33-feet. If your ear buds do 
not find a previously paired device that is in range and turned ‘on’ within approximately 
45 seconds they will switch from the Auto-Linking mode to the Pairing mode. You will 
hear the voice say “Pairing” and the LED indicator begins alternately flashing red and 
blue.

3. Power Off

PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB) on the control dongle for 3 seconds. 

You will hear the voice say “Power Off”. The red LED flashes once and then shuts off.

5. Using Your iHome Bluetooth Ear Buds

The chart on Page 4 explains the basic functions and operations of your Bluetooth ear 

buds. 

4. Manually Pairing Your iHome Ear Buds With Your Bluetooth Device

NOTE: Your ear buds must be ‘Off’’ to begin the manual pairing process. 

With the ear buds in the ‘Off’ mode, PRESS and HOLD the Multi-Function Button (MFB) 
on the control dongle for approximately 6 seconds. After 3 seconds you will hear the 
“Power ON” prompt and after another 3 seconds you will hear the “Pairing” prompt and 
the LED indicator begins alternately flashing red and blue. Release the Multi-Function 
Button (MFB)

Make sure that your Bluetooth device is turned ‘On’ and “discoverable”. Refer to the

instructions supplied with your device if necessary. When your device “finds” the iB73 
ear buds, you will see “iHome iB73” appear on your devices Bluetooth menu screen
together with the words “Not Paired”, “Not Connected” or similar. Touch “iHome iB73” to 
complete the pairing process. You will hear the voice prompt say “Your device is
connected”, and you will see “iHome iB73 Connected” on your device’s Bluetooth menu. 
NOTE: If your Bluetooth device asks for a Password or a PIN to complete the pairing 
process, enter “0000” on the keypad of your device.

You are now ready to begin streaming music wirelessly from your Bluetooth device to 

your iHome iB73 Bluetooth ear buds.

NOTE: The first time you perform this operation you might find it convenient to place 

only the left ear bud in your left ear. This will allow you to hold the control dongle in your 
right hand so that you can see the control buttons and the LED indicator and still hear 
the voice prompts in your left ear. Once the ear buds have turned on and paired with 
your Bluetooth device you can then place the right ear bud in your right ear. 

 Specifications

2. Charging Your Ear Buds

IMPORTANT: 

Your iHome ear buds operate on a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion

battery. Although the battery was fully charged when it left our factory, like all batteries 
it can experience some power drain during periods of non-use. For best results we
recommend that you charge the battery for approximately 3 hours before using your 
ear buds for the first time.

1. Lift up the water resistant cover to expose the micro USB 

charging port.

2. Connect the micro USB plug on the charging cable to the 

micro USB port on the headphone. NOTE: The micro USB 
plug can only be inserted into the micro USB charging port 
one way. To avoid damaging the connection make sure the 
plug is properly aligned with the charging port. 

3. Connect the standard USB plug on the charging cable to any standard USB power 

port such as found on a notebook computer, or the charging adapter for an iPod, 
iPhone, etc.

4.  The Power/Charging/Pairing indicator will glow RED while the ear buds are charging. 

The indicator will turn BLUE when the battery is fully charged, indicating that your 
ear buds are ready for use.

3. Wearing Your Ear Buds

Your iHome ear buds are supplied with 3 sizes of ear 

cushions and 3 sizes of flexible stabilizer ‘fins’. The M 
size cushions and M size fins were installed on the ear 
buds in our factory. The ear buds are clearly marked 
with ‘L’ and ‘R’ indications. Place the ‘L’ ear bud in your 
left ear and the ‘R’ ear buds in your right ear as shown 
in the following illustration:

When worn properly the control dongle will be on your right side. Some users prefer to 

wear the ear buds with the cable behind their neck. Others may prefer to have the cable 
in front of their neck. Either wearing style is acceptable.

If you find that the ‘M’ size cushions and fins are either 

too large or too small for your ears you can easily
replace them with the ‘S’ or ‘L’ cushions and fins. To
change to a different size cushions and fins, first
simply pull the cushion off the tube and then pull the 
fin assembly off the ear bud housing as shown.

Then place the desired size of fin assembly over the ear buds housing and place the 
desired size cushion firmly over the tube as shown.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the cushion is firmly seated on the tube so that the cushion 

does not remain in your ear canal when you remove the ear buds.

It is not necessary to use the same size cushions and fins. You may find for example that 

using the ‘M’ size cushions with the ‘S’ size fins is most comfortable for you. That is a 
matter of personal choice.

We have also provided one set of ear hooks that are 

designed to keep the ear buds in place during more 
strenuous exercise and activities. The hooks may be 
used either together with the stabilizer fins or in
place of the stabilizer fins. Refer to the following
illustration for proper attachment and wearing of
the hooks. The hooks are marked ‘L’ and ‘R’ and can 
only be installed one way.

If you find that the ear buds cable is too long and 
moves too much while running or jogging, you
may use the included cable management clip to
shorten the cable.

Refer to the illustration.
